Tom Cruise has been accused of banishing his niece from his family in an incident ten years ago after catching her making out with a boy at his property in a video uploaded by YouTube channel Growing Up In Scientology.

The video shows an interview with a former Scientologist Nick Lister, who relates a story about a friend of his, Jamie Lesavoy, who is also Cruise’s niece.

Lister tells the interviewer about the alleged situation which unfolded after Lesavoy was caught kissing a boy at age 14 on camera at Cruise’s estate, claiming: ‘She made out with a boy on Tom Cruise’s property, just made out. It was caught by the cameras; Tom Cruise decides it’s unbecoming for a Scientologist in his family to do such a thing and he kept her from family functions and sent her across the country from L.A. to Missouri and then Florida.’

Metro.co.uk have contacted representatives for Tom Cruise for comment. There have been no comments from Lesavoy to corroborate Lister’s story.

Lister goes on to say that growing up in Scientology is like ‘being in the Catholic Church and the Cardinal doing your confessions’.

Growing Up In Scientology was first set up on YouTube two weeks ago and aims to discuss how being a part of the controversial religious movement shapes someone’s world view.
